MESSAGE FROM THE ADMIN TEAM

As hard as it is to believe, we are over half way through the year. Semester one has been very successful

for our students. We are confident that the dedication and work ethic displayed during semester one will

continue. Interim marks will be out to students on Monday, March 5th with Term 3 parent/teacher

interviews taking place on Tuesday, March 6th from 5.30 – 7:00 PM. School will dismiss at 2:03 PM on this

day.

We are entering into a very busy time getting ready for next year. Our counseling/admin team will be

visiting all classes to start the process of course selection for next year before spring break. If you have

any questions, it is essential you speak with either of our counselors, Ms. Nicholson or Mrs. Gunderson.

SCHOOL PARKING LOT & STUDENT DROP OFF LANE

Parents and students are asked to not stop in the middle of the staff parking lot to drop off students, please use the drop off lane. Also a reminder that the drop off lane is one way traffic and all traffic through the drop off lane should proceed slowly as there are students and staff walking across the lane at all times of the day. Thank you for your cooperation with this safety concern.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT NEWS

Huge thank you and congratulations to all our musicians for a tremendous Disney Concert earlier this month. Our students and parents showed overwhelming commitment to making it such a success even on such a snowy evening and I am truly grateful. The following day, a shortened version of the concert was performed for the school and was also very well received. At both concerts, the audience area was full and the crowd was happy and pleasure to perform for. Next on the band calendar is the Local MusicFest Fanfare Band Festival at Vanier Hall. We are entering our four concert bands and two jazz bands that will perform for judges at some point during April 11

LIBRARY NEWS

There are 123 textbooks overdue from the fall semester. Please check with your teen and then send back any that you find at your home. Unreturned and lost textbooks result in significant additional loss to the school, so your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciate.

LEADERSHIP NEWS

The final semester of the school year finds Leadership students continuing to work hard for their school community. January, February and March saw Leadership students hosting several activities around Valentine's Day. We were also active with Todd's Team, the school booster group that came out to cheer for our teams around the city. We are now in preparation for group activities that will help usher in the warmer weather and channel adolescent energy in a positive manner. DP Todd will be entering a team in the Relay for Life; if you would like to support our team - and cancer research - please contact Mr. Balazs so that he can connect you to the right people. Continue to check out the school web page for more information.

Course selection for 2018/19 will be happening soon, so it is important that parents understand how students are selected for Leadership. The Leadership Program will see many changes in the upcoming year as we adapt to the newly revised curriculum standards. This will include restructuring the course into three levels with the possibility for Grade 10 students to take the course. These changes will be explained and reflected in the course selection book and on the school website.
